I will try this tonight and see how it works. I was feeding the board

bit (big or small) I use?
Yes, ALWAYS. Feeding in the direction the bit is spinning is VERY dangerous.
In addition to the wood becoming a ballistic missile (as you've already
discovered), it can also pull your hands along with it when it launches --
right into the bit.

It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again.
Doug,
Thank you. I will use all of these tips tonight. Great info... As you
can tell, I am a little green when it comes to routing. Thanks Again.
